Not really surprising

After getting home from work the other day, she jumped in the shower. She came upstairs afterwards to tell me she'd discovered the source of the mysterious leak in the laundry room.

She'd accidentally knocked a hole in the shower wall. Upon inspection, we discovered that the custom-built, beautifully tiled, marble-accented shower was built using ordinary (i.e. not remotely waterproof) materials. The wall was completely rotten inside. In fact, peeling away the first layer of tiles, we discovered they'd been laid over an older, mould-covered set of tiles.

So now I get to learn how to build a new bathroom.

In other news, Bridget asked for my covert help in writing up the posting for the Ferengi's job as the bossman intends to let her go as soon as he can find somebody to take over. And New Chick has mysteriously reverted to New Chick after months of playing the part of Littlebabycryingpants. She seems to have decided that I'm okay after all. Not only is she speaking to me, she's acting like nothing ever happened.

Christy: The Ferengi? No. The Bossman's been telling me he was going to fire her since my first-ever interview with him more than four years ago. This is just the first time it's gone past the talking-about-it stage.
